“They decided to take a break from fishing and two of the boys headed up the cliff toward Tanbark, while (Speir) stayed behind to fish some more,” Dotson said. “After awhile, the friends tried to call (Speir) on his phone. When they couldn’t reach him, they alerted his family and a search began around 4:30 p.m.”

Dylan's father found the boy's body a rocky ledge about 15 feet above the water and performed CPR.

Dylan was pronounced dead on scene by emergency crews on scene.

Coast Guard was called in to help recover the boy's body and was taken to the Brookings Airport.
